Deputies have released the name of the man who they say was arrested after a five-hour standoff Monday night.

Anderson County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Sheila Cole said the standoff started at 8:36 p.m. when deputies were called to a home on Charles Reed Road in Iva for a possible psychiatric suicidal person.

SWAT and negotiators were called in after deputies heard several shots from within the home, according to Cole.

Deputies said they were able to convince the man, later identified as Alan Rufus Locklear, 35, to come out of the home around 1:45 a.m. Tuesday.

Locklear is being held at the detention center for pointing and presenting a weapon and breach of peace.
